Shrimp Toasts and White Wine Sauce

PARTNER POST – Join in the celebration of one of the world’s oldest grapes, Garnacha, with deliciously paired recipes.Buttery shrimp and mushrooms are cooked in a creamy white wine sauce and served on toast points for a flavorful appetizer perfect with a glass of wine.

The best part about this recipe is the sauce. It’s creamy, buttery and flavored with white wine. The wine is something that you definitely can not substitute here – don’t swap it out for chicken broth or anything like that.

Then you have to pair this white wine sauce with a bottle of Garnacha wine. It comes in all varieties from red to white and dry or sweet, whatever flavors you look for in a wine they have, and interesting fact about the Garnacha grape is that it’s the only variety that can produce both red and white wines. You can check out their Facebook page to get some more information about their wines, and which ones to cook with too!

Once the shrimp and mushrooms are cooked and the bread is toasted, put one slice on a plate and cut in half to make triangles. Add a few shrimp to the top and pour some of the sauce all over the shrimp and the bread.

This shrimp is perfect for appetizers or a tapas night while you sip on a bottle of Garnacha wine, make sure you grab a few different kinds so that your friends can try them all and see which is their favorite, red or white!
